Since 1966, we’ve made continued technical advancements to design the perfect loudspeaker and today we bring that heritage to vinyl enthusiasts and movie lovers alike with the new 600 Series. This range turns movie night into an immersive experience, and brings the music you love to life, as if the performer is standing in front of you.

You can hear the engineering excellence and passion, and that is why our speakers are used in leading recording studios around the world, such as the legendary Abbey Road Studios, due to the accuracy they provide. Bowers & Wilkins is a global leader in bringing music and sound to your ears – and your experience – the way it was meant to be heard.

The groundbreaking feature of our latest 600 Series is the integration of our cutting-edge Continuum™ cone, which creates layered midrange sound with a pristine soundscape. The human ear is naturally tuned into sound in this frequency, and we’ve understood the power of the perfect midrange presentation for over a generation.​Developed over an eight-year period, the Continuum cone was first featured on our flagship 800 Series Diamond models, including the 800 D3, now in use in Abbey Road Studios. It truly makes your music come alive, delivering the crucial sounds fundamental to any great music experience. The new 600 Series also features our patented and ultra-low-distortion Decoupled Double Dome tweeter to reveal astonishing levels of detail in your music. Whether you immerse yourself in stereo or surround sound, the 600 Series brings you closer to hearing Bowers & Wilkins True Sound.

Bowers & Wilkins new 600 Series rangeThe new range is available in two sleek, modern finishes, Black and White, and includes:

603: As the flagship and largest speaker in the series, this floorstanding speaker delivers outstanding power, accuracy and musicality with the Decoupled Double Dome tweeter, an FST midrange driver using the Continuum cone, plus dual paper-cone bass drivers

]Bowers & Wilkins’ Matrix™ bracing system has come a long way since it was first incorporated into the Matrix 1 in 1986. The distinctive internal structure braces the external cabinet, reducing resonances in the outer shell and providing a more solid platform for the drive units to do their work.

Considering it was developed in the middle of an intensive research program into materials to make cabinets stiffer, Matrix had quite prosaic beginnings, being inspired by the criss-cross construction of a case of wine given to one of the engineers on his birthday.

Matrix is also counter-intuitive in the way it works. Normally, if you make the cabinet stiffer, theory tells you that the resonances increase in amplitude and occur at higher frequencies – which is not a good thing. But in practice, because there is so much loss in the glue joints and elsewhere, it doesn’t quite work like that. It stiffens the cabinet at lower frequencies but, because of the inherent losses, it doesn’t cause issues at higher frequencies.

800 Series Diamond MatrixSome 30 years on, Matrix in the new 800 Series Diamond is a very different beast. Gone is the MDF of previous incarnations, replaced with the same thick plywood of the cabinets and extra bracing in the form of steel and aluminium supports at key junctions. The larger 800 Series Diamond models also now anchor their bass drive units directly into an aluminium section of the Matrix that sits behind the baffle – providing an even more solid platform.

High-performance portable headphones pack pristine sound into compact, luxurious design.When it comes to movies, the sequel is rarely better than the original. However, when it comes to Bowers & Wilkins P3 headphones, the sequel is far superior to its much-loved and award-winning predecessor.Perfect for people on the go, the portable P3 Series 2 on-ear headphones have been made more luxurious and more affordable, while receiving a substantial boost in sound quality. Benefiting from five decades of Bowers & Wilkins acoustic and design excellence, the high-performance headphones boast all-new audio drivers with enhanced tone, depth and clarity.​

B&W engineers used a unique damping system in the small drive unit to control diaphragm movement and produce a precise sound, big extended bass and natural acoustics that have this nimble product punching well above its weight.Looking as good as they sound, the stylish P3 Series 2 ear pads and headband are now made from premium black sheep leather, chosen specifically for improved comfort and durability.An innovative folding mechanism allows the lightweight-but-robust aluminium headphones to fit snugly in your coat pocket or purse, and although sturdy in their own right, they also come with a hard shell carry case for added protection.Two easily interchangeable cables are included to suit your needs. One has a remote and microphone attachment that works seamlessly with an iPhone® or iPad®, while the other is a universal cable compatible with all other mobile phones and portable audio players.Another testament to Bowers & Wilkins’ continued quest for perfection, the new-and-improved P3 Series 2 headphones have raised the bar in terms of functionality, performance and class.Watch the below clip to see the sleek and slender P3 Series 2 in action…

This is the first time this extraordinary and time-consuming process of creating a Bowers & Wilikins 800 Series speaker has been captured on film in its entirety.From the formation of the outer shell of the cabinet, through the painstaking painting and polishing process, right up to the final test that makes sure the loudspeaker meets our -- and our customers' -- exacting standards, each stage is carefully monitored, and consistently applied. Enjoy...

The new 800 D3 is more than a speaker. It’s the culmination of half a century of acoustic research and engineering, and the pinnacle of audio performance, offering unmatched levels of clarity and realism.In this insightful video our engineers discuss exactly what they have achieved, and the acoustic benefits that the 800 D3 has over all the Bowers & Wilkins speakers that have gone before it.

Following a series of five-star rave reviews for the new 600 Series, the 683 Theatre system has been chosen as European Loudspeaker System 2014 - 2015.“A glorious multi-channel speakers system” say EISA’s expert judges as they praise the use of innovative technologies including the new 600 Series’ Decoupled Double Dome tweeter and the resulting sound, so good it could “grace any high-quality setup”.The EISA judging panel concluded: “Ever since the first 600 Series loudspeakers were launched in 1995, Bowers & Wilkins most popular range has continued to be defined by its application of innovative technologies. The new 600 Series is no exception, with all its models benefitting from the latest generation of woven Kevlar® bass/mid cones that saw their debut some 20 years ago. In the slim new 683 floorstanders, these Kevlar units are supplemented by a pair of aluminium bass drivers while the entire range of 683, smaller 686 wall-mountable surrounds and impressive HTM61 centre speaker all feature Bowers & Wilkins latest Decoupled Double Dome aluminium tweeters. While the new 683 floorstanders would grace any high-quality stereo setup, in combination with the 686, HTM61 and ASW610XP subwoofer they make for a glorious multichannel speaker system.”​
